GETTING NEW COINS.


whsrs the Bright Pennies Come From
and How They are Circulated.
where do the new pennies come
from?"
The question is asked daily. Every
one has dimly defined idea that they
are turned out of the United States
mint, but under what conditions they
are put into circulation few people
seem to know. Ross w. Drum, cashier
OF the Trsdesmen's National hank,
United States depository for Pittsburgh,
was asked the question the other day.
ANY one can get them by applying
to the United States Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer, and sending the
money" The Treasury regulations on
the subject of minor coins read thus:
The Treasurer and Assistant Treas
urer will pay out for lawful money any
minor coin not needed in the current
business of their Offices.
do the banks put most of them in
circulation?"
Not now. They formerly did, but o.:
late years many mercantile houses have
been making practice of getting their
own pennies from the Treasury De-
partment This was rendered neces-
sary in making change by the practice
of making prices in odd numbers, as
ninety-nine cents. forty-nine cents and
similar prices. This of course puts a
large number of pennies in circulation
and the stores must have them on hand,
and they have taken to buying their
pennies in large amounts.
How is other coin procured from
the mintsp''
Upon receiving an original certifi-
cate of the Assistant Treasurer in New
York for a deposit of one hundred
dollars, or any multiple of one hundred
dollars, made for the credit of the
Treasurer in general account, the
Treasurer will cause a like amount in
gold coin to be sent from the mint at
Philadelphia at the consignec' S expense.
upon the receipt OF currency or
gold coin the Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer will cause to be paid to APP
plicants in cities where their respective
Offices may be situated, standard silver
dollars in any required amounts. To
applicants outside of cities in which
the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer
may be situated. the same will be
forwarded at the expense of the Govern
mcnt in sums or multiples Of five
hundred. upon receipt by the Treasurer
of an original certificate issued by an
Assistant Treasurer or National bank
depository that deposit of currency
or gold coin has been made to the credit
Of the Treasurer on general account
Fractional silver coin will be for
warded from the Office nearest to the
place of the destination by express at
the expense of the Government in sums
or multiples of five hundred dollars,
under the same conditions that govern
the issuance of silver dollars. Also by
the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer,
by registered mail free of charge, in
sums or multiples of seventy dollars,
at the risk of the party to whom sent.
upon receipt of currency or gold coin.
